Offering a watching companion is a fantastic idea 💯
💡Wouldn't it be even more amazing if this feature could be available in every language into which the film has been translated?

One of the findings is that #Gemini seems to give direct, concise answers, whereas #ChatGPT4 (by default) gives wordy ones, comprising an introduction, arguments and a summary/conclusion.
Of course it can be customised to give Gemini-like answers. https://twitter.com/DimitrisPapail/status/1732529299909939598 -

The voice capabilities of the #ChatGPT app (powered by #GPT4) are insane. Fluency, intonation, natural pauses, emphasis, unbelievably human-like. The same voice (I chose Breezy) also speaks in Greek with a beautiful ever so slightly American accent.

If we define creativity as variety in response, ChatGPT definitely has it.

Nice definition of #creativity in translation by @AnaGuerberof & @_atoral.
I would only remove "depart from the source text": it is too vague, and not necessary (in some cases we may need to stick to the source text, "depending on the context")

Just here to say I'm very happy with #Zoom clips. Now that the beta is over, we still get to record 2 mins for free.

These "subtitles" are not CC/SDH and seem automatic, as they do not follow #readability guidelines (segmentation, speed).
I suppose they are offered as an extra service for those who choose both subs and dub, and want to read what they hear.
But how readable are they? https://twitter.com/StavroulaSokoli/status/1717290642651402587 -

It seems that subtitlers are under the impression that they cannot publicly talk about their work *after its release* and with their name in the credits. Supposedly it's against the NDA they've signed.

Currently #subtitling a documentary with a foreign language speaker, who is often cut off mid-sentence.
Obviously an editing error, because its English subtitles are presented as complete sentences.

The fact that #translation should not disrupt the viewer/reader's suspension of disbelief does not mean that #translators should remain invisible. This is a common misconception we must clarify to the world or at least stop propagating.

No scriptwriters & no actors means no films & scripted shows. If this persists, the future looks bleak.
But there is life beyond Hollywood and a steady increase in non-English and reality shows.

Recently, I was asked if we could/should use published translations in our #subtitles.
I answered no, and here is why 👇
There can't be footnotes in standard #subtitling. https://twitter.com/yilinwriter/status/1670305203206385665Of course, there are exceptions, as is the case with established translations, excerpts considered public domain (e.g. from Shakespeare).

Machine translation has been leveraging the work of translators for quite some time. Indeed, there's a need for ongoing research into the ethical implications of AI, including how we handle data and respect human creativity. A complex, evolving field that requires attention. https://twitter.com/javipalarcon/status/1657325600321708040

The research in #translation being done now with #GPT4 is going to look very different. I suppose we'll see it published in a few months.
The example below is impressive to say the least.Even though #ChatGPT has a set temperature, it does adapt to prompts like "creative" or "out-of-the-box" to produce more diverse outputs

@integlangsbiz @AnnaMJankowska @HaideeKotze @CTS_Surrey More on the subject
(mental note: If these models keep using discourse markers like this, we'll end up using "overall" and a conclusion in any communication😅)
-
Beware of the "we wouldn't say that in the target language" mantra in #subtitling. When it's a distant or fantasy world, of course we can produce something that we'd never say "normally". It might be an odd expression, but the whole setting is out of the ordinary anyway.

Needed to find terminology for a subject in Greek, and thought I'd be smart and use #chatGPT instead of my usual Google search (keywords in quotes to find relevant original texts).
All Greek text it produced was rubbish, seemed literal translation from English.
Any clues? -
#FilmTitle translations in French

You can use #ChatGPT for more than text. Ask it to produce code, use other tools to visualize 👇 https://twitter.com/Claybight/status/1620052850851336194

"The role of a film editor is similar in many ways to a good #translator. There’s a similar conversation about #invisibility in both these jobs."

This article is what I've been looking for for a long time now.
Explains why #TikTok design is successful and evil.(Next one to find is an explainer why watching #shortvideos is bad for you, esp. kids)

Today I found out that I can talk for six hours straight about #AVT and #subtitling. And didn't even cover all the material prepared for this "short" introduction 🤓

Before you describe yourself in the next conference or presentation, read the article by Joel Snyder in the latest #DeepFocusIssue by @ATA_AVDivision

Cool stuff, but #AVT nerds have a question: how did #ScottMann know that #dubbing destroyed his dialogue? Through back-translation? Can he speak the (un-named) target language?
-
If #subtitlers work only on post-editing MT, they will soon see their skills deteriorate, no matter how qualified or experienced they are. Skills are sharpened by collaborating with humans.

Looking forward to this! https://twitter.com/GALA_Global/status/1612404062405771264

#Translators, how are you preparing for the disruption caused by developments in LLMs and their integration in #localization systems and workflows?

#Maestro Actor Fanis Mouratidis expressed his excitement about the first Greek show dubbed in other languages. "I was looking forward to it, I've been #dubbing foreign films, it's great to be dubbed at last. I sound great, especially in Turkish".
#Netflix

Wondering the same. Translation credits appear only in "creatives". Never in legal, EU, financial or technical documentation (afaik). In times of MT it might be necessary for visibility and accountability. Would it make sense? https://twitter.com/sahorcas/status/1613546012307763201

Love the way #ChatGPT lures you into a future subscription. Excellent model includes:
-Hassle-free register.
-Allows you to use all of the new features (e.g. chat history). For free.
-Slowly takes them away - which for a free service is easily forgiven.
-
Articles like this one about "surprising" #dubbing research findings make me wonder why there is so few cross disciplinary research. Why do #dataanalysts, #translationstudies and #machinetranslation researchers not work together more?
